John slowly open his eyes and awake from deep state of meditation when he hear announcement that it is the time for him to lead the World War V. He understand that his sacrifice today will save millions or even billions of life. He is a Q-Person, one of two component of Quantum Computer, and with the Q-Machine, he will conduct the World War V in the form of quantum simulation.

Two things that make the quantum simulation possible, the first is Brain Machine Interface, and the second is the realization that the only quantum computer cannot be achieved without the human brain component. Not all human can be used as component for quantum computer, only Q-Person that is less than 1 in million that have the right brain connection to be able process quantum calculation, but the other can connect with that quantum computer as the client that send the problem and received the solution of the problem.

John was recruited by the quantum committee when he was 10 year old after the result of routine screening online chess competition conducted by the quantum Committee show that his brain is capable processing real multitasking, not the illusion of multitasking that ordinary people had. The moves in his game of chess show that the moves can only be achieve if he calculate all branch of move, and then simultaneous decide the best course of move. A Q-Person that has minimum 2 multitasking processing is enough to be recruited by quantum committee and John had more than 100 simultaneous multitasking processing, the highest known for untrained people.

The Q-Machine is a bit mystery because there is only one in the world, it’s been used for almost one hundred years old from the beginning of Quantum Computer. Only selected scientist from Quantum Committee has the security clearance to know and to operate Q-Machine. It is being hosted in black building in the office of Quantum Committee. All Q-Person will connect with Q-Machine, each one Q-Person/Q-Machine combined will became one quantum computer capable of processing all kind of problem.

Every Q-Person must undergo hard training before can be connected to Q-Machine. The first two year of training is just like ordinary school with but with high mathematical education specially in the topic of probability. The knowledge of probability is needed because in the quantum simulation all is about probability. The third and fourth year of training is focus on using the brain machine interface. The standard interface is an implant at the size of 1 inch square placed at the side of the brain by surgery. In the beginning there are no electrode that poke from implant that penetrate the brain, the implant is floating at the surface of the brain, then slowly more than a million thin wire will grow to all part of the brain. People will not feel pain as the diameter of wire is just a couple atom, and the grow is so slowly that it need one year to complete the growth. In that one year, each wire will connect to other neuron and act as additional synapse for the brain, it always calibrate, calculating and processing all input from the brain and the brain receive output from the interface. Only after one year, the interface can be connected to the outside world just like computer modem. The fifth and sixth year of training is how to connect with Q-Machine. When the Q person think, they subconsciously think problem and all the possible solution, the brain process all path simultaneous, but consciously the person will only aware a couple best path and solution, the decision how they get the solution is mostly hidden. But when connected to the machine, the person saw all path and all solution, consciously calculating all decision, and then choosing the best possible solution.

A Q-Person is capable of doing quantum computation because the neuron in Q-Person brain sometimes can hold one qubit of information. Although only less than 1% of neuron has that capability, it’s still a lot of neuron where each hold one qubit, so it’s is not known what is the limit of quantum processing of a Q-Person. To do Quantum War Simulation, Q-Person and Q-Machine will act as a server, and all of the leader, the military general, the soldier, and the citizen of the country that want a war, will be connected as a client. The input of each client will be sent to the server, the server will calculate all probability of decision, choosing a couple of best path, send to the client, ask new input, and so on. Then at the end of the Quantum War Simulation, the server will show each country condition, how many soldier has die, how much damage of the infrastructure, how much loses, etc. Although there is no real damage, each defeated countries must pay War Indemnity to the winning countries as the consequence of the war, and Quantum Committee get a percentage of that money.

John understand the risk of doing Quantum War Simulation, he always wonder whether he will survive or not, and he know that there are only two possibilities: yes or no, and now John is in coma, all the processing of the path of war has taken to the limit of his brain, the sad memory of millions simulated death has force his consciousness to hidden part of the brain. But John’s brain still capable of doing multitasking processing, and the Quantum Committee will not throw away that brain. John lie in surgery room as a team of surgeon will remove the brain from the his body and put it in a vat, and then his brain will be put in one of the rack at the black building and connected with thousands of other Q-Person brains in the vat inside that building to became the component of the Q-Machine.

Quantum Theory: A to Z

Albert Einstein decided quantum theory couldn’t be right because its reliance on probability means everything is a result of chance. “God doesn’t play dice with the world,” he said.

P is for ... Planck's Constant

This is one of the universal constants of nature, and relates the energy of a single quantum of radiation to its frequency. It is central to quantum theory and appears in many important formulae, including the Schrödinger Equation.

P is for ... Probability

Quantum mechanics is a probabilistic theory: it does not give definite answers, but only the probability that an experiment will come up with a particular answer. This was the source of Einstein’s objection that God “does not play dice” with the universe.

S is for ... Schrödinger’s Cat

A hypothetical experiment in which a cat kept in a closed box can be alive and dead at the same time – as long as nobody lifts the lid to take a look.

C is for ... Cryptography

People have been hiding information in messages for millennia, but the quantum world provides a whole new way to do it.

M is for ... Many Worlds Theory

Some researchers think the best way to explain the strange characteristics of the quantum world is to allow that each quantum event creates a new universe.

O is for ... Objective reality

Niels Bohr, one of the founding fathers of quantum physics, said there is no such thing as objective reality. All we can talk about, he said, is the results of measurements we make.

Q is for ... Quantum biology

A new and growing field that explores whether many biological processes depend on uniquely quantum processes to work. Under particular scrutiny at the moment are photosynthesis, smell and the navigation of migratory birds.

N is for ... Nonlocality

When two quantum particles are entangled, it can also be said they are “nonlocal”: their physical proximity does not affect the way their quantum states are linked.

Z is for ... Zero-point energy

Even at absolute zero, the lowest temperature possible, nothing has zero energy. In these conditions, particles and fields are in their lowest energy state, with an energy proportional to Planck’s constant.

A is for ... Alice and Bob

In quantum experiments, these are the names traditionally given to the people transmitting and receiving information. In quantum cryptography, an eavesdropper called Eve tries to intercept the information.

W is for ... Wave-particle duality

It is possible to describe an atom, an electron, or a photon as either a wave or a particle. In reality, they are both: a wave and a particle.

M is for ... Multiverse

Our most successful theories of cosmology suggest that our universe is one of many universes that bubble off from one another. It’s not clear whether it will ever be possible to detect these other universes.

V is for ... Virtual particles

Quantum theory’s uncertainty principle says that since not even empty space can have zero energy, the universe is fizzing with particle-antiparticle pairs that pop in and out of existence. These “virtual” particles are the source of Hawking radiation.

G is for ... Gravity

Our best theory of gravity no longer belongs to Isaac Newton. It’s Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity. There’s just one problem: it is incompatible with quantum theory. The effort to tie the two together provides the greatest challenge to physics in the 21st century.

K is for ... Kaon

These are particles that carry a quantum property called strangeness. Some fundamental particles have the property known as charm!

S is for ... Schrödinger Equation

This is the central equation of quantum theory, and describes how any quantum system will behave, and how its observable qualities are likely to manifest in an experiment.

R is for ... Reality

Since the predictions of quantum theory have been right in every experiment ever done, many researchers think it is the best guide we have to the nature of reality. Unfortunately, that still leaves room for plenty of ideas about what reality really is!

I is for ... Interferometer

Some of the strangest characteristics of quantum theory can be demonstrated by firing a photon into an interferometer: the device’s output is a pattern that can only be explained by the photon passing simultaneously through two widely-separated slits.

B is for ... Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC)

At extremely low temperatures, quantum rules mean that atoms can come together and behave as if they are one giant super-atom.

W is for ... Wavefunction

The mathematics of quantum theory associates each quantum object with a wavefunction that appears in the Schrödinger equation and gives the probability of finding it in any given state.

A is for ... Atom

This is the basic building block of matter that creates the world of chemical elements – although it is made up of more fundamental particles.

U is for ... Uncertainty Principle

One of the most famous ideas in science, this declares that it is impossible to know all the physical attributes of a quantum particle or system simultaneously.

E is for ... Entanglement

When two quantum objects interact, the information they contain becomes shared. This can result in a kind of link between them, where an action performed on one will affect the outcome of an action performed on the other. This “entanglement” applies even if the two particles are half a universe apart.

L is for ... Large Hadron Collider (LHC)

At CERN in Geneva, Switzerland, this machine is smashing apart particles in order to discover their constituent parts and the quantum laws that govern their behaviour.

H is for ... Hidden Variables

One school of thought says that the strangeness of quantum theory can be put down to a lack of information; if we could find the “hidden variables” the mysteries would all go away.

S is for ... Superposition

Quantum objects can exist in two or more states at once: an electron in superposition, for example, can simultaneously move clockwise and anticlockwise around a ring-shaped conductor.

Y is for ... Young's Double Slit Experiment

In 1801, Thomas Young proved light was a wave, and overthrew Newton’s idea that light was a “corpuscle”.

X is for ... X-ray

In 1923 Arthur Compton shone X-rays onto a block of graphite and found that they bounced off with their energy reduced exactly as would be expected if they were composed of particles colliding with electrons in the graphite. This was the first indication of radiation’s particle-like nature.

T is for ... Tunnelling

This happens when quantum objects “borrow” energy in order to bypass an obstacle such as a gap in an electrical circuit. It is possible thanks to the uncertainty principle, and enables quantum particles to do things other particles can’t.

F is for ... Free Will

Ideas at the heart of quantum theory, to do with randomness and the character of the molecules that make up the physical matter of our brains, lead some researchers to suggest humans can’t have free will.

G is for ... Gluon

These elementary particles hold together the quarks that lie at the heart of matter.

Q is for ... Qubit

One quantum bit of information is known as a qubit (pronounced Q-bit). The ability of quantum particles to exist in many different states at once means a single quantum object can represent multiple qubits at once, opening up the possibility of extremely fast information processing.

H is for ... Hawking Radiation

In 1975, Stephen Hawking showed that the principles of quantum mechanics would mean that a black hole emits a slow stream of particles and would eventually evaporate.

J is for ... Josephson Junction

This is a narrow constriction in a ring of superconductor. Current can only move around the ring because of quantum laws; the apparatus provides a neat way to investigate the properties of quantum mechanics.

L is for ... Light

We used to believe light was a wave, then we discovered it had the properties of a particle that we call a photon. Now we know it, like all elementary quantum objects, is both a wave and a particle!

U is for ... Universe

To many researchers, the universe behaves like a gigantic quantum computer that is busy processing all the information it contains.

R is for ... Radioactivity

The atoms of a radioactive substance break apart, emitting particles. It is impossible to predict when the next particle will be emitted as it happens at random. All we can do is give the probability that any particular atom will have decayed by a given time.

B is for ... Bell's Theorem

In 1964, John Bell came up with a way of testing whether quantum theory was a true reflection of reality. In 1982, the results came in – and the world has never been the same since!

I is for ... Information

Many researchers working in quantum theory believe that information is the most fundamental building block of reality.

D is for ... Decoherence

Unless it is carefully isolated, a quantum system will “leak” information into its surroundings. This can destroy delicate states such as superposition and entanglement.

T is for ... Teleportation

Quantum tricks allow a particle to be transported from one location to another without passing through the intervening space – or that’s how it appears. The reality is that the process is more like faxing, where the information held by one particle is written onto a distant particle.

C is for ... Computing

The rules of the quantum world mean that we can process information much faster than is possible using the computers we use now.

R is for ... Randomness

Unpredictability lies at the heart of quantum mechanics. It bothered Einstein, but it also bothers the Dalai Lama.

A is for ... Act of observation

Some people believe this changes everything in the quantum world, even bringing things into existence.
